The Republicans had the house in 2020. The last time Democrats had the trifecta was under Obama for about 6 weeks, they still didn't do anything because enough senators were having health problems, so they still didn't actually have enough votes.

We need to burn down the state election offices till they stop gerrymandering the fuck out of tons of states so that the Dems can actually have a supermajority.

Not true, they passed Obamacare in that window. I remember it was a rush to get… i think the last Kennedy brother to vote on it before he died and they lost the advantage.
